Looking for information her, my husband's mother. I've seen her name spelled potkas also. This may be tough because this is more recent. I believe she was born in January of 1941 and died around 1999. She was connected to Byron Murdoch McDonald, they had several children, Suannah, Reese, Thomas, sarah and Donald. If you have any info please email me on this site. Thank you.2015-03-03 08:38:42Zdebthrailkill48http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.scan-balt.lithuania.general/6603/mb.ashxRe: Melsbach responsehttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.scan-balt.lithuania.general/155.180.184/mb.ashx
Hello! I am just writing to find out some more information about my lineage and I think I found a link! My great grand-mother is Agnes Faulkner and I am trying to find out her maiden name. Her husband, Melvin is my great-grandfather. They were both born in 1905 in CT. Would it have been Agnes Melsbach? Also, my grandmother, Nancy Faulkner Casillo, claimed that her mother was German. Wondering if you know anything about that... <br><br>Thanks! :) 2015-03-02 21:26:46Zdcasillo31http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.scan-balt.lithuania.general/155.180.184/mb.ashxRe: Joseph PANGONIS; Marcella KYROSKI http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.scan-balt.lithuania.general/878.714.1.3/mb.ashx

My great grandfather - Joseph Anthony Pongonis (1909-1978?) - was born in Wilkes Barre, PA to our immigrant ancestor Joseph Peter Pongonis (1886-1978?), who I was told got in a fight with his brother Thomas over the spelling. Joseph went "Pongonis" and Thomas went "Pangonis"... Joseph &amp; Thomas arrived at Ellis Island, and Joseph moved to Wilkes Barre, where he met and married Marcella Korosky (spelling I'm iffy about) and they had my Grandpa Joe and they moved to West Frankfort, IL. I'm told Tom moved to CA. We don't have any info on them from when they were still in Lithuania because of the different language and cyrillic alphabet, but I'm chomping at the bit to find out more!2015-03-02 14:40:56Zirishelf05http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.scan-balt.lithuania.general/878.714.1/mb.ashxRe: Vabalninkas [ Wobolniki ] Lithuaniahttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.scan-balt.lithuania.general/6602.2/mb.ashx

Hello. I am trying to do some research on my Father's family. My great great grandparents came from Lithuania. Their names were John and Amelia(maybe Emma). John's last name was Salp. This was the surname that showed up on all of the records in hte USA that I have found. I have talked to my grandfather and he said that the stem was defintitely Salp, but in Lithuania, there was a suffix. He doesn't know what it is. He told me that maybe the name ended in -anowitz or -anoski. Again, these are just ideas. If anyone has any information on popular Lithuanian surname endings, please reply to this post. <br><br>Also, Amelia/Emma's maiden name was Tamulion, which may have been mistaken changed from Tamuliene. My grandfather told me that he knows of cousins of his that live in Michigan. <br><br>Here is some basic info that I know:<br>- Immigration: 1906<br>- Arrived: New York (I can't find their names on a pasenger list)<br>- Lived in: Chicago (Ward 9)<br>- They moved to Daggett, Michigan<br>- On My great grnafather's birth certificate, there are locations of where John and Amelia/Emma were born<br>John was born in "Berzis, Lithuania"<br>- Amelia/Emma was born in "Vabalnikas, Lithuania<br><br>IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE SALP FAMILY OR THE TAMULION FAMILY, PLEASE REPLY.

I'm searching for information from Lithuanian archives, about my grandfather Harry Addis, born in Seduva in 1878, who came to the UK at the age of 16, so I was told. His parents' names were Gershon and Miriam. I believe that he also had a brother who emigrated to the US, at around the same time. There was a member of the US family named Melvin (Melvyn?)

Hello,<br><br>N. = North.<br>Amelia = Emilija.<br><br>Sorry, my knowledge of this part of wife's tree is too small yet :(<br>I just know that her g-grandma was Marijona Sulpaite (married- Beleckiene, 1889-1969, burried in Klovainiai, Pakruojis district).<br><br>I found another place sounds like you mentioned "Birzis" = Birz^iai (=Birzhiai) village (Siauliai district, near Gruzdziai).2015-01-27 05:54:32Zeluksyshttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.scan-balt.lithuania.general/6592.4.3.1/mb.ashxRe: GARONZIKhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.scan-balt.lithuania.general/1538.1.1.1.3.1.1.2.1.2/mb.ashx
Hi Janet ~<br><br>You and I are 4th cousins through the LAMM family, the family of your grandmother Bertha. My 2nd great grandmother was also Bertha. She and your 2nd great grandfather were siblings.<br><br>I've done extensive research into the Lamm family if you are interested.<br><br>I look forward to hearing from you.<br><br>Linda Silverman Shefler2015-02-16 00:15:32Zlinsilv_2http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.scan-balt.lithuania.general/1538.1.1.1.3.1.1.2.1.2/mb.ashxRe: Boleslau DAMONhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.scan-balt.lithuania.general/5199.2.1/mb.ashx
I did try to find leads from your reply to my 2012 message post. Unfortunately, I did not get anywhere. I do not have an arrival manifest. The 1900 US Census shows that Boleslau(w) Damon arrived in 1886 and his birth country was Russia. I attached a photo of this. I will reply to your other message as well. Thank you for trying to help. I appreciate it.<br><br>Barbara Perry 2015-02-06 16:57:24Zeduc8r1957http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.scan-balt.lithuania.general/5199.2.1/mb.ashxRe: Boleslau DAMONhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.scan-balt.lithuania.general/5199.2.1.1.1.2.1/mb.ashx

Thank you. I've been told that Boleslaw is a Polish spelling. I also have records of his name as Joseph Damont. I remember my grandmother telling me as I was growing up that I was Lithuanian because her parents were Lithuanian. I am a history teacher and have learned through research that many Lithuanians lived in what is now Poland and shared a lot of culture. I always thought this was the reason for the Polish spelling. It could also have been spelled this way by the census taker. <br><br>I also just found the spelling Jaakkimainen while searching for records on Pauline Jaqmin on ancestry.com. I wonder if this is a more accurate Lithuanian spelling.2015-02-02 21:38:12Zeduc8r1957http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.scan-balt.lithuania.general/5199.2.1.1.1/mb.ashxRe: Boleslau DAMONhttp://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.scan-balt.lithuania.general/5199.2.1.1/mb.ashx
